2. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort at the lower part thereof, avertical hydro-carbon supply pipe leading thereto, a vertical pipeleading therefrom, a nozzle arranged to discharge the gas from said lastmentioned pipe that discharges the gas downwardly towards the retort, anair chamber on the upper end of said pipes extending over said retortand surrounding the nozzle with an opening under and registering withthe port from the nozzle, and a ipe extending into said air chamber anconnecting with said hydro-carbon supply pipe, sub stantially as setforth.

3. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort at the lower part thereof, avertical hydro-carbon supply pipe leading thereto, a vertical pipeleading therefrom, a nozzle arranged to discharge the gas from said lastmentioned pipe that discharges the gas downwardly towards the retort, ahorizontal is maintained at a high temperature and the and pipe becomescompletely and thoroughly converted into gas. The air chamher isrelatively large enough to supply sufficient air to bring about completecombus downward through the hole 38 leading from the air mixing chamber.The flame being considerable in volume and striking the top of theretort with considerable force, spreads outward and turns upward so thatit directly engages and heats the pipe sections. and forming the mixingchamber whereby the i air is well heated when it comes in contact withthe gas issuing from the port 2-7. The 1 rapid passage of the gas from:said port through the hole 38 creates a strong suction which draws theair with it from the air\ chamber and from the outside.

From the foregoing it is seen that this burner is peculiarly ada ted forthe comlete conversion of the oiihnto gas and complete combustion of thegas: therefore, the generation of a powerful heat. The burner is chieflyconfined within the furnace cham ber of the stove so that it is out ofthe way and all fumes pass out of the stove. While this is an intenseheater, at the same time the oil supply pipe extends centrally throughthe l inlet opening of the air conduit or chamber l so that the oil in.the supply pipe is kept. cool l until it enters the downward tube 24 inthe burner.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort at the lower part thereof, avertical hy- (.lrocarbon supply pipe leading thereto, a

pipe, and an air chamber formed of two p0rtions of tubing, one portionsurrounding said pi e leading to the hydro-carbon supply pipe with theother end open and the major portion thereof cut away on the upper sideand with the lower side secured to said pipes leading to and from theretort and the other portion being closed and at one end open so as toslip over said first portion and slotted on the under side to enable itto be put in place or l removed, and means for securing said air chamberportions to the pipes leading to and from the retort.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presenceof the witnesses vertical pipe leading therefrom, a nozzle arhereinnamed. ranged to discharge the gas from said last GEORGE W. REED.mentioned pipe downwardly towards the re- Witnesses:

tort, and an air chamber on the upper end of N. ALLEMQNG, said pipesextending over said retort and sur- W. M. GENTLE,

pipe leading to said hydro-carbon supply
